Adventures in House Hunting...Volume 2

Yep, I'm still on the search for the perfect home. :-)

House one was fabulous in pictures.  I Googled. I MapQuested. I did a drive-by.  I wish I could tell you what the inside of this house looked like in person...but I can't.  You see, I told my trusty Realtor - Elaine that I wanted to see this house.  She called, and called and called.  The selling agent.  The phone calls weren't returned for an entire week!!!  And then, it was only to tell Elaine that the house had been sold to someone else.  Gee, lady - update the status on the freaking listing!  It's not that hard.

House two was questionable in pictures. It could be fabulous; it could be hideous.  So, I dragged dear old dad to see said house.  And I liked it.  Really liked it...but didn't get the feeling that this was "the one".  You know what I'm talking about right?  The feeling that this is the house you were meant to buy.  So, I walked away. 

But, it's been a few weeks since the home tour.  And the house is really growing on me.  To the point where I put an offer on it today!  It all happened so fast!  I got pre-approved for a loan at 4 o'clock and was submitting my offer two hours later.  I should have news before the end of the week!!  Eek!

So, based on the two pictures I can share...what do you think of my potential new home?
